ShowSpace lets you painlessly gather products from all over the web and display them on your blog!

NEW: Embed product widgets in your sidebar (available from version 1.4.0)!

NEW: Widgets are cached in WordPress which speeds up displaying them and makes them display even if the ShowSpace website is down or not available (available from version 2.1.0)!

While WordPress is a great CMS and blogging engine, it's not good at:

  • Making list posts, e.g. "Top 100 Sci-fi Movie DVDs", or displaying curated product collections like Pinterest or List.ly. Using ShowSpace it's really easy to create "Top 100" posts really quickly! (and not having WordPress screw with your formatting)

  • Making price comparison tables. With ShowSpace you can easily collect services and products and display them in an attractive table in you blog post!

  • Monetizing your content by displaying affiliate products. All your ShowSpace widgets can contain affiliate products. We even integrate with SkimLinks and VigLink automatically if you want us to, so there is no reason for you to ever create another deeplink by hand.

  • Showing related products or services with each post. You don't want to manually enter lists of related products and services in the WYSIWYG editor each time you write a blog post. That's duplicated effort and when one is out of date, they all are. Use ShowSpace to build your own database of products and show each product in as many widgets as you like! Adding them is just a couple of clicks and when you update the product, it automatically updates in all widgets! So if you want a Batman t-shirt to appear at the end of a post about t-shirts and a post about superheroes as well, it's trivially simple! Price updates for the t-shirt? No problem, update it at ShowSpace and it updates in every widget, in every post.
